Union law minister M. Veerappa Moily tells Forbes India how his plan for judicial reforms will impact commercial disputes, undertrials, integrity within the system and women
Could you outline your vision for reducing pendency in courts in India?
The pendency rate is heavy. We plan to reduce the pendency from 15 years to three years. A National Arrears Grid [which will monitor clearance of pending cases across courts in India] will be put on mission mode. E-courts, evening courts and fast-tracking of cases involving senior citizens, women and children will be done. There should be no cases pending after three years. We are also creating commercial courts within High Courts.
